What Is Microblading?

First of all, numbing cream will be applied to your brow area to keep you comfortable.

Though it might occasionally feel uncomfortable, the truth is microblading isn’t the painful experience you might expect.

Then, the artist will use a unique pen made specifically for the microblading process to draw on the areas where the lines need to go. In fact, the pen is so exact, that it helps them to draw on individual hairs. This is actually the part of the process that takes the most time.

In some cases, your artist will create a customized pigment that perfectly matches the color of the brow hair that you already have.

Then, the pigment is placed into a pen, and a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo is applied to the brows.

Overall, you should expect for the process to take approximately two hours.

The good news?

After you make that time investment, you’ll be able to enjoy the results for up to two years!

The Benefits of Microblading

Now that you have a handle on what the process of microblading looks like, let’s talk about why it’s the right choice for you.

It’s time to kiss your razors, creams, and your trusty pair of tweezers goodbye — and good riddance!

Let’s talk about the benefits of microblading, instead.

1. It Can Fill in Gaps in the Brows

Do you have beautiful, full brows — except for that one gap in your brows?

We know that having one area that either won’t grow hair at all or is noticeably thinner than the rest of your brows can be seriously annoying.

In some cases, this gap may be due to a medical or chronic condition. But sometimes, the truth is that those gaps are just due to bad luck.

Microblading can naturally fill in those gaps in the brow, blending in perfectly with the hair that you do have. So, the transition will look seamless and natural.

In short, no one will be able to tell it’s not the real thing.

2. It Can Correct Over-Plucked Eyebrows

Especially if you’re interested in the beauty world, you may have read one of the few trend pieces lately about how skinny brows are threatening to make a comeback.

It’s something everyone is worried about, and that no one wants to happen.

Why?

Because not only do thin brows usually look unflattering — they also make it much harder for your natural brow hair to grow back. If you’ve taken to extreme plucking in the past, you might still be paying the price for that one year you got way too comfortable with a pair of tweezers.

Microblading can help with this.

It can make your brows look fuller without damaging any of the hair that’s in the process of growing back.

3. The Results Are Long-Lasting

We know that one of the main reasons why you became so interested in microblading in the first place is because you wanted to spend less time on brow care.

In other words…if microblading meant that you’d need to be back in the salon once a week, it wouldn’t be something you were interested in.

The cool thing about microblading is that the results are long-lasting and that you only need touch-ups every once in a while.

If you rub your eyebrows? The pigment won’t come off.

If you wash or exfoliate your face? The pigment will still stay in place.

And even if you go swimming? You still won’t have to worry about coming out of the water, only to realize that your eyebrows have totally washed off.

You can hit the gym and sweat it out without putting them at risk, too.

4. You Won’t Need Any Recovery Time

We know that you want to learn everything that you can about the recovery process associated with microblading your brows.

There’s little to no downtime required.

In fact, as soon as your appointment is over, your new brows will be fully in place. You can drive, work out, and live your life as you normally would.

Though you may experience a little redness around the brows, this is normal.

You can expect for your eyebrows to be completely healed within thirty days.

Also, we especially love that microblading is incredibly safe.

We know that, when you first learn about what the process entails, you might be a bit nervous about how the pigmentation in microblading might fade or even become discolored.

Luckily, this doesn’t happen.

This is because the pigments that are used in microblading of the eyebrows have been chosen for their ability to hold the color and gradually fade over time.

Though over the course of a few years, the brows will become lighter, you’re not going to suddenly wake up with greenish-tinted brows.

And when that color does start to fade?

Don’t worry — all you need to do is schedule a quick touch-up session!
